Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.

Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth.

Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.

Beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.
